Launch gallery slideshow

Swap Coordinator:ShawnaJ (contact)
Swap categories: Sewing  Handmade  Dolls 
Number of people in swap:8
Location:Regional - US
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:January 25, 2009
Date items must be sent by:February 4, 2009
Number of swap partners:1
Description:

You will have one US partner for this swap.

In this swap you will include ten items to help your partner add to thier Valentine's Dotee's.

If the items will fit in a 6x9 envie, then by all means, put it in there. That's why I put the "box" part on there. It doesn't have to be sent in a box, unless it doesn't fit in an envie.

You can add any of the following:

fabric pieces, felt pieces, embellishments, lace, jewels, ribbons (or scraps of ribbons), hair pieces, yarn, glue sticks, thread, beads *Basically anything you have that you want to share with a partner for them to make/help making a dotee out of. Anything red, pink, white, etc.

Now, I am new to the whole dotee thing, but I have enough stuff to share here, that I can fill up a box, so it won't be any issue for me to send items to swap with.

This will be a regional US swap only, as it could get expensive shipping over the world.

Ratings must be 4.7 and above. Newbies welcome with a fully filled out profile. I'm afraid I can't answer alot of questions on the dotee's themselves, but I'm sure if you post a question, someone will answer you.

I thought that this would be an interesting swap to get a newbie started. At least it would give her some idea's on crafting a dotee. I hope to see alot of signers since there's so many people that make dotee's!

This sounds like fun. I have yet to make my first dotee and I'm excited to see what others use .

I've edited the swap partners to be onlyl one, due to the fact that nobody has signed up. Maybe it wasn't a good idea for a swap? Hopefully I'll get more. I thought it would be a cute idea, too!

I'm very new to this (no swaps yet), and so far have made two Dotee's that will be apart of a series, so they are keepers. This swap looks very interesting and like it'll be a lot of fun.

Thanks bead, I sure hope so. I'm new to making Dotee's, too! I'm in the process of making one of my own and she'll be a keeper, but it's slow going as I have other projects that are a tiny bit more important than her. And, it's giving me a "brush up" on my sewing skills..lol :)

I will be signing up closer to the signup date due to the swap limit of 20 that is in effect. I have others that i want to do and have added this to my watchlist so I don't forget! Can't wait to join and already have some stuff for it. Mary

Shawna, I have a needle thread and sewing machine, yet no sewing skills. So until I get really good at hand sewing Dotee's, they will all be keepers.

beadeful, I made several out of felt and hand stitched around the outside of the Dottee. I used an easy straight stitch on one, a blanket stitch ... you could try that.

I have accumulated a bunch of stuff and would love to trade. It's on my watch list until I send out some of the others due this week.

I am fascinated with these dolls, but new to making them, so would love to join this swap. Lots of goodies to share from my over-flowing craft / quilt room!

Tish, sorry I just saw your message. Thanks for the offer. I've been trying to get into this inchies thing now. Gosh! there's just way too many crafts out there. I wish I could settle with just one.
